Vickie Menendez shares a soul-stirring journey of loss, love, and awakening in this deeply personal and profoundly inspiring memoir. A mother, wellness practitioner, and transformational guide, Vickie has walked through the unimaginable: the loss of all four of her children from her first marriage—including the devastating passing of two children just twelve days apart in 2023.


But her story doesn’t begin—or end—there.


Years before this heartbreak, the deaths of her son in 2017 and her father in 2018 stirred something within her. Vickie answered the call to begin deep emotional healing, drawing from over 35 years of study in self-care, wellness, and spiritual practice. The rituals, tools, and insights she cultivated became her lifeline—preparing her for what was to come and revealing a mission far greater than she ever imagined.


In this memoir, Vickie doesn’t just recount grief—she reveals how it became the very catalyst for clarity, courage, and calling. With raw honesty and unwavering compassion, she guides listeners through the sacred terrain of sorrow, offering moments of grace, unexpected beauty, and spiritual connection. Alongside her story, she shares the life practices that helped her move forward, not in spite of her losses, but because of the love that remains.


This is not just a story of survival—it is a story of becoming. Vickie invites you into a journey of remembering what’s whole, reclaiming your own inner strength, and Learning to Live Again. If you’ve ever whispered, “How do I go on?”—this book holds a gentle, powerful answer.
